This BUNN coffee maker is advertised as “the fastest brewing machine” and this largely comes down to the fact that it keeps its water hot 24/7 so that it’s always ready to brew.

This machine is quite similar to the Velocity, however a notable difference is the extension of contact time between the always-hot water and coffee, so you end up getting more bang for your buck in terms of flavor.

If you want to make between 4 and 10 cups at a time in under 4 minutes, this is the machine for you.

PROS

This machine has a spray head that increases the contact time between the water and coffee ground to make better tasting coffee.

The internal water tank has been improved to keep water temperature consistent.

The spray head is lime-tolerant which extends the lifetime of the machine and also makes cleaning the thing a lot less of a pain.

CONS

There is a bad electrical smell during the first few uses. It’s not uncommon for new electrical appliances to have a new burning plastic smell but that doesn’t mean you want your beloved BUNN coffee maker to emit any kind of bad odor. While harmless it’s understandably annoying.

BEST SUITED FOR: Someone who values speed and quality of flavor. Check out what one happy customer had to say.

You still get all the fancy benefits of your standard Velocity machine but the game changing feature here is that BUNN Velocity Brew Thermal Carafe.

It can keep your coffee hot for up to 2 full freaking hours.

Think of all the things you can get done in 2 hours without worrying about keeping your coffee hot! Pretty phenomenal.

The carafe can also be removed from the heating pad and placed at your kitchen table or wherever in the house and your coffee will remain hot.

No need to reheat coffee in the microwave with this machine; your pot will still be hot.

For the love of Godplease don’t microwave your coffee. Have some standards.

PROS

Keeps coffee hot for longer.

Additionally the thermal carafe provides less of a scorching effect that glass pots produce in their coffee. Ever notice how at the very bottom of your glass coffee pot there is some burnt coffee residue? That’s what we’re talking about. The thermal carafe won’t do that.

CONS

More bad smell? Yeah. Sorry. In addition to all the great Velocity Pros it gets some Velocity Cons too including the electrical bad stink. Again, it’s harmless but still annoying. Users say it dissipates after a few weeks.

This machine costs more than the standard Velocity machine so be prepared to pay extra for the extended heat time. If money is an issue, look for BUNN coffee makers on sale to get this quality machine for less (eBay, anyone?).

BEST SUITED FOR: Someone who takes several hours to leisurely drink a pot of coffee, and who doesn’t want anything fancy or complicated out of their machine.

It has two decanters and is solidly built of stainless steel, and will brew you consistent cups of kick-ass coffee.

If your house is the center point of large family reunions, holiday parties, big gatherings, or meeting spaces for any reason you may not realize that the BUNN 12 cup coffee maker is what you need.

PROS

As stated earlier, this coffee maker has a serious capacity for coffee output. Literally gallons of coffee (3.8 per hour!).

It requires no plumbing connections, which is unusual for a commercial machine. This means that it is portable and can be put in your kitchen - which is why we are recommending it for home use.

CONS

The glaringly obvious con is the massive size of this thing. You’ll need plenty of vertical space for this behemoth. The dimensions are 16.2 X 8 X 20.7 inches. So please measure your available space before ordering.

There are also some complaints that the pots tend to leak. (Luckily pots are replaceable but it is still a hassle to do so.)

I want to say we are very happy with our Bunn 10 cup maker. I have a story… I threw out the sprayhead with the grounds. I thought oh no I would have to get a new coffee maker. I put on a pair of gloves and went through the garbage still did not find the sprayhead. I thought this is it. Than I found your the 800 number and called. I did not have the date nor the model number. Your representative was so helpful. I told her what happened she ask about the Bunn we had and said no problem. She knew right away what sprayhead I needed. In fact she said we will send you two just in case. No charges. This happen the first part of this week and today I recieved the sprayheads.

You are wonderful. This is our second Home Bunn we will not have any other coffee maker. I hope this get to the right people. I wish I wrote down the name of your representative. I really would like to say thank you very much to her, so pass it on if you can. Thank you
